A Valuable Reference Book 


Clay Products for Sanitary Improvements, Agricultural Develop¬ 
ment, General Construction Work, Highway Maintenance and Industrial 
Service have proved their immediate value and their permanent worth 
so fully as to be classified among the indispensable materials necessary 
to our daily life. 

To be abreast of the time, all those engaged in the sale of Construc¬ 
tion and Development Materials, or in planning for their use, must keep 
fully informed concerning these essential Clay Products and their varied 
uses. Any dependable information concerning these materials, in the 
form of reference data, should be acceptable and carefully retained for 
future need. 

This catalog is the result of a three-fold desire, on our part, to place 
in the hands of both designer and dealer a book sufficiently valuable and 
helpful to make it worth retaining. We proposed first—to bring together 
in condensed and concise form, in one book, information concerning all 
our Vitrified, Glazed and Fire Clay Products. Second— to publish data 
concerning sizes, weights, etc., which have not been compiled before, but 
for which there has been a well defined need, both on the part of the 
designer and the dealer. Third—to assist in all ways the fuller under¬ 
standing of the products, their uses and the methods of using, so as to 
assist in answering promptly the varied questions constantly arising. 

This book will not supersede or abolish our other catalogs of indi¬ 
vidual products, which go more fully into the details concerning each 
product. These other catalogs should also be kept constantly at hand. 
This book should, however, be the book of first and most frequent refer¬ 
ence. 

Because this book contains more data than any similar book pub¬ 
lished thus far, and also because the quantity is limited, you should deter¬ 
mine to keep it carefully against loss or destruction. We cannot assure 
you of a second copy if this is not retained.

Integrity in Practice and in Products 

Thirty-six years of continuous, consistent service to patrons in our territory wit¬ 
ness to our integrity, reliability and fair dealing. 

We feel that our growth is due to the measure of good will accorded us by our 
customers and have striven to merit that good will by consistently furnishing reliable, 
durable and practical materials which we could stand back of and with which our cus¬ 
tomers would be satisfied. Thirty-six years have proven that policy to be sound and 
we intend to continue it. 

When comparing Clay Products it is well to remember that the skill and experience 
of thirty-six years are mixed, pressed, burned and delivered in our products. During 
these years we have adopted only such methods and processes as insured strength, 
durability and finish. The purchaser’s confidence is not misplaced when he selects 
such practical, economical and everlasting materials. 


Explanations of Trade Names and Qualities 


The terms salt glazed, vitrified, hard 
burned, soft tile, shale and fire clay are 
sometimes loosely and improperly used. 
The following concise explanations are 
given to clear up some misconceptions as 
to terms and also to show why we can 
claim so much everlasting advantage for 
the high standard products we manufac¬ 
ture. 

Such a large percentage of our products 
are Salt Glazed or Vitrified that we men¬ 
tion them first. 


Salt Glazed Clay is produced from shale 
or clay by introducing common salt into 
the kiln, when the ware has been brought 
up to an intense heat. The heat vaporizes 
the salt. On contact with the clay, this 
salt vapor enters into combination with 
the surface of the clay and forms a per¬ 
manent, inseparable, glassy coating or 
glaze. This glaze attaches to both outer 
and inner surfaces and resists most acids, 
chemical agencies and vapors. Where the 
glaze is intact, there is no surface absorp¬ 
tion. Salt Glazed Clay resists acids, rot, 
decay, disintegration and crumbling. It is 
everlasting. 

Frequently the term vitrified is im¬ 
properly used to apply to salt glazed ware. 
Although a clay can hardly be glazed with¬ 
out being vitrified, it is best, in order to be 
exact and to avoid confusion, to use the 
term vitrified as applying to a very hard 
burned, unglazed tile. 


Ease of Inspection 

Vitrified Salt-Glazed Clay is not de¬ 
ceptive, it is not the result of a mixture 
or compounding of different elements; 
burned clay and only burned clay consti¬ 
tutes its structure. If not properly 
burned, this fact is evident from a most 
casual inspection. This ease of inspection 
and assurance as to quality is a valuable 
factor to the architect or engineer, as 
questions regarding workmanship in man¬ 
ufacture are eliminated. 


Strength of Hollow Blocks 

Vitrified Salt-Glazed Hollow Blocks de¬ 
velops a crushing strength that enables it 
to be used for load-bearing walls. When 
built in the wall it will support a load 
approximately from five to twenty times 
the weight of the wall itself, with an 
ample factor of safety for all walls of 
normal heights. 

With all forms of Hollow Building Block 
construction only cement mortar of good 
rich mixture should be used. A wall 
properly laid in a good mortar will develop 
about 60% to 75% of the strength of the 
Block and this assures a very strong wall. 

Weight of Hollow Building Blocks 

Vitrified Salt-Glazed Clay. Our Hollow 
Building Blocks weigh from 65 to 70 
lbs. per cubic foot, while the same quantity 
of cinder concrete, suitable for structural 


4

Explanations of Trade Names and Qualities—Continued 


purposes, weighs about 100 lbs. Stone 
and gravel concrete weighs about 140 to 
150 lbs. per cubic foot. A cubic foot of 
brick work will average not less than 120 
lbs. The lightness of Vitrified Salt-Glazed 
Hollow Blocks, with their strength, dura¬ 
bility and other physical properties, as 
well as rapidity with which they can be 
laid, places them in a class by themselves. 


Fire Resistance 

Vitrified Salt-Glazed Hollow Blocks, 
being the product of the hottest of fires, 
are a very high resistance to the action of 
fire and have withstood the extreme test 
of many conflagrations. When used prop¬ 
erly, Hollow Blocks fulfill the most exact¬ 
ing requirements of fire protection. An 
excellent bond is obtained between cement 
mortar or concrete applied to or deposited 
on Hollow Blocks; therefore Hollow Blocks 
may be combined with these very useful 
structural elements in many various ways. 

Vitrified Clay results from firing the 
clay to a high temperature, causing in¬ 
cipient softening and contraction of the 
clay, and approximate elimination of open 
pore space. A hard, dense body, nearly 
impervious and of very low absorption 
value are the characteristic qualities of 
all vitrified clay. 

Absorption Test 

Vitrified Clay. The American Society 
for Testing Materials limits the permis¬ 
sible percentage of absorption for Vitrified 
Clay Sewer Pipe to a maximum of 8%. of 
it,s own weight. The test is made by im¬ 
mersing a truly bone dry specimen in cold 
water. The temperature of the water is 
then raised to boiling point and kept there 
for fivp hours. The water is then allowed 
to cool. The specimen is then allowed to 
drain for one minute, then dried with a 
blotter. The final weight is then taken 
and the percentage of absorption deter¬ 
mined. 

Standard Hard Burned Clay. This term 
applies to a hard, dense product having 
not to exceed 12% absorption. Our hard 
burned products are made to conform to 


our determination to produce only such 
materials as will offer strength and dura¬ 
bility in all cases. 

Soft Tile. We will not make soft, por¬ 
ous tile for uses where exposure, above or 
below ground, would result in disintegra¬ 
tion or decay. Short lived service, poor 
strength, crumbling, etc., are sure to occur 
when soft tile is used where strength, 
durability and denseness are first requi¬ 
sites. The old idea that drainage was ac¬ 
complished through the porous shell of 
soft drain tile is now known to be false. 
The water enters the tile at the open 
joints. Consequently the use of hard 
burned tile is the only sensible procedure. 

Weights and Dimensions Listed 

Weights. The weights given are ap¬ 
proximate and are for the guidance of 
purchasers in ordering minimum carloads, 
etc., and for estimating cartage. Clay 
products are not sold on a guaranteed 
weight. 

Dimensions. Dimensions given are ap¬ 
proximate. 

The Different Raw Clays 

Shale Clay is a stratified, fine-grained 
clay; more or less hardened or indurated 
by heat or pressure; with well marked 
parallel division or cleavage; deposited in 
still water prior to the present geological 
era. It is usually red burning. 

Fire Clay is a stratified clay found with 
varying degrees of hardness or induration, 
but usually less than the shales; with poor¬ 
ly marked division or cleavage; deposited 
prior to the present geological era; usually 
buff burning and is more resistant to 
higher temperature than the red burning 
clays. 

Surface Clay is an unstratified, uncon¬ 
solidated, plastic, glacial or alluvial clay; 
laid down on the flood plains of rivers or 
in basins of lakes or by the glacial ice 
sheet; of recent origin, deposited during 
the present geological era; usually red 
burning, except when naturally blended 
with finely divided carbonate of lime, then 
it assumes a buff or cream color upon 
firing.

Versailles Fire Brick 


Versailles “Flint” Fire Brick. 



Versailles “Standard” Fire Brick. 



Versailles “Flint” Brick is made from 
the celebrated Versailles Flint Clay and 
is recommended for service under ex¬ 
tremely high or varying temperatures. A 
very low co-efficient of expansion makes 
it capable of resisting sudden changes 
of heating and cooling. Hence it is 
especially adapted for extreme practice 
such as boiler furnaces equipped with 
stokers or forced draft, and where oil is 
used under pressure. Flint brick is par¬ 
ticularly specified for the following con¬ 
struction : 

Boilers; High Power Arches, Bridge 
Walls. 

Forges. 

Furnaces; Annealing, Malleable, Smelt¬ 
ing, Tempering, Welding. 

Gas Plants. 

Kilns, Cement, Fire Bags, Side Walls 
and Crowns. 

Ovens, Dutch. 

Caution: Never store Fire 
Brick in a damp, wet or un¬ 
covered place where exposed to 
rain, snow or freezing. Being 
porous it absorbs moisture, 
which causes disintegration and 
shortlived service. 



Versailles “Standard” Fire Brick is 
made from our high grade plastic clay 
combined with the celebrated flint clay 
used in “Flint” Brick. “Standard” Fire 
Brick is very tough and strong and 
stands the rough usage commonly met 
with in hand fired coal burning devices. 
“Standard” Brick stands a working tem¬ 
perature of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit and 
is adapted to the following uses: 

Boilers; Hand Fired, Arches or Bridge 
Walls. 

Fire Places, Domestic. 

Forges. 

Foundry Cupolas. 

Furnaces, Heating. 

Gas Plants.

Versailles Fire Brick—Hand Molded Special Shapes 


On this page we show some of the shapes of Boiler Tube Tile which are carried in stock. Each of 
these shapes is in general use, because the boiler or boilers to which it is adapted is a popular type. 

These Tube Tiles and all our special shapes are hand molded from a special mixture of the 
famous high grade Versailles Fire Clays. 

We are prepared to make any special shapes if supplied with drawings or sketches which show 
measurements and details. Always state make and type of boiler used. Be sure to anticipate your 
requirements for special shapes.

Fire Clay in Sack. 


Useful Fire Brick Information 

Storage. —Keep Fire Brick Dry. Store in a warehouse or un¬ 
der some shelter and away from wet or damp ground. It is porous 
and absorbs moisture which destroys the bond and shortens its life. 

Firing. —Increase or decrease fires slowly. Warm new work 
gradually to drive off moisture without injuring brick. Cool 
furnaces slowly. Cold air after high temperature is the severest 
usage for fire brick. 

Quantity. —A surface foot of 9 in. wall requires thirteen 
9 in. brick. A surface foot of 4in. wall requires six and 
one-half 9 in. brick. A cubic foot of wall requires seventeen 
9 in. brick. Add ten per cent in estimating wedges, arches or 
keys. 

Versailles Dry Milled Fire Clay 


For best results Fire Brick should be laid in 
the same clay from which it is made. Fire Brick 
often fails because inferior mortar is used. 
Our dry milled fire clay is of the same high 
quality as our Versailles Fire Brick and is es¬ 
pecially adapted to “Flint” or “Standard” because 
made from the same clay. Fire Clay can be 
shipped in bulk or 100 lb. sacks. Sacked is ship¬ 
ped, unless bulk is specified. 

Quantity. Depending on the class of work, from 
400 to 600 lbs. of dry milled fire clay is required 
to lay up 1,000 fire brick. The less clay used the 
better. 

Mortar. Mix clay with water, making mortar 
about as thick as cream. Do not stir. 


Laying Brick. Dip Brick in the mortar, then 
rub into place. Never spread mortar on fire brick 
with a trowel. Fire Brick must bond or it will 
not stand up. Every joint must be broken. Bond 
must equal one-half the thickness of the brick. 
Key course should be a snug fit. Always use care 
and do not damage the brick. Do not leave holes 
or voids to be filled with fire clay. Surfaces of 
walls and arches must be smooth. Warm up 
slowly when starting fires.

Safety and Economy With Fire Clay Flue Lining 



Flue Lining Safeguards Against Fire 


As ordinarily constructed, the chimney 
is almost certain to become a source of 
danger. The constant heat from the fire 
causes the mortar to become dry, so that 
it falls out of place, leaving cracks or 
holes in the chimney. Settling of the 
chimney has the same result. Being out 
of view, cracks and holes cannot be de¬ 
tected or known about until a fire shows 
the defect. It is too late then to make 
amends. The time to use care is when 
the chimney is erected. The careful 
method is to use Flue Lining in every 
chimney. 

Flue Lining serves as a fire preventive, 
and gives a straight flue of uniform di¬ 
mensions. The ordinary brick chimney 
will not do this. With Flue Lining the 
flue has a smooth inner surface, which 
leaves no lodging place for soot, thus 
eliminating the possibility of chimney 
fires. The cost of Flue Lining is only 
nominal. It is a cheap method of pre¬ 


venting fire and strengthening the chim¬ 
ney. 

Our Flue Lining is superior for chim¬ 
ney construction because it is made of a 
special mixture of clays thoroughly 
burned to withstand fire and heat, and 
sudden or slow changes in temperature. 
It is not injured by fire, smoke, gases, 
acids, moisture or frost. It does precisely 
what mortar and brick fail to do. 

We make our Flue Lining in two-foot 
lengths and various sizes, suited to dif¬ 
ferent requirements. Shorter lengths can 
be made by filling Flue Lining with sand 
and tapping with a sharp chisel and ham¬ 
mer around the lining along line where 
cut is desired. In this manner it can be 
cut to any length or at any angle. The di¬ 
mensions are correctly figured on a basis 
of brick sizes so there is no difficulty 
whatever in building up the chimney and 
the stack of Flue Lining together. Flue 
Lining with a round opening for stove¬ 
pipe or furnace pipe, or with square open¬ 
ing for a register, is also made. 


Flue Lining; Square, Straight, Round Corners. 


Dimensions and weights given are approximate. The Flue Linings will fit in the chimneys they 
are made for without difficulty. Inside dimensions can be obtained by deducting twice the thickness 
of shell from outside dimensions. Flue lining should be stored under shelter.

We endeavor to keep on hand a

order all straight flue lining, 
making the opening as required 
on the job, because the ready 
made openings so frequently are 
not in required place when full 


lengths are used and the flue

a choice between shortening in 
one case and making an opening 
in the other.

Round Fire Clay Flue Lining 


^^Aiiiuin'" uk

II 


Cut No. 399—12- 
Inch Round Flue 
Lining. 


Round Flue Lining is made of the same special mixture of 
clays as our square flue lining. It is thoroughly hard burned to 
withstand fire and heat, and sudden or slow changes in tempera¬ 
ture. It is not injured by smoke, gases, acids, moisture or frost. 

Round Flue Lining is used for round chimneys, flues, and hot 
air or ventilating ducts. When ordering, care should be taken 
to ascertain the correct inside diameter of the flue or duct, in the 
clear. As a precaution, mention this size in your order, in addition 
to the size of the Round Flue Lining you consider proper to use. 

Round Flue Lining should be stored under shelter.

cut No. 425—Dif¬ 
ferent methods of ar¬ 
ranging- Flues to get 
good bond in brick¬ 
work. 



Cut No. 1671—Proper method of 
building Chimney with two Flues. 
Both lined with Flue Lining and 
separated by brick wall. 



Practical Specifications for Flue Lining 

All brick chimneys shall be of hard brick and eight 
inches thick, if unlined, and not less than four inches 
if lined, and be built upon a permanent, substantial 
foundation and not supported on floors or woodwork. 
The brick shall be laid in Portland Cement mortar, 
which is much superior to lime mortar in resisting heat 
and gases. 

Mortar. Mortar used in chimney construction, ex¬ 
cept for fire brick, shall be cement mortar proportioned 
as follows: Two bags, 200 pounds of Portland cement, 
and one bag, 50 pounds, of dry hydrated lime, thorough¬ 
ly mixed dry. To this mixture add three times its 
volume of clean, sharp sand and sufficient water. Mix 
all thoroughly. When dry hydrated lime is not avail¬ 
able, one cubic foot of completely slacked lime putty 
may be substituted for 50 pounds of dry hydrate. Where 
lime putty is used, mixing of lime and cement must be 
thorough. Dry hydrate is preferred to lime putty. 

The chimney shall extend at 
least two feet above the ridge 
of a peak roof and three feet 
above a sloping or flat roof. 

Conditions may require that the 
chimney be even higher than 
this. 

Every smoke flue for a stove 
or range shall have an inside 
area of not less than 49 square 
inches. Inside cross section of 
8%x8 x /4 Flue Lining is 49 square 
inches. 

The minimum area inside of 
flue lining used for furnace or 
fireplace shall be 75 square 
inches. Inside cross section area 
of 8%xl3 Flue Lining is 75 
square inches. 

Each flue shall be lined with 
Lining, starting at the bottom of 
the flue or from the throat of 
the fireplace. The Flue Lining 
shall be carried up through the 
entire height of the chimney as 
it is built. Care must be taken 
to make the joints of the Flue 
Lining tight and smooth. Suf¬ 
ficient mortar to fill the space 
between brick and Flue Lining 
must be slushed in as the chim¬ 
ney is built up. This will shut 
off all air currents which weak¬ 
en the draft. The Flue Lining 
shall extend four inches above 
the top capping of the chimney 
to prevent brick falling into the 
chimney, and protect the mortar

Information for Builders of Chimneys 

Neither chimney nor Flue Lining shall be contracted or drawn in at top. Chim¬ 
ney shall be built up straight from bottom to top, unless very good reason prevents. 
In no case shall abrupt angles be made. The angle of offset shall never be more than 
thirty degrees from plumb. 

A Fire Clay Stove Pipe Thimble of proper length shall extend through the brick 
chimney wall into the opening in the Flue Lining. Brick and mortar shall be care¬ 
fully laid around Thimble to make air-tight joints. 

An outlet for cleaning out ashes, soot, etc., shall be placed at bottom of each flue. 
Fire Clay Thimble shall be used for this purpose. All clean out or pipe openings shall 
be capped when not in use. 

No joists, headers, studding or metal pipes shall be built into or enclosed by the 
chimney walls. 

All fireplaces and chimney breasts where mantels are placed 
shall have trimmer arches or other fire-proof construction sup¬ 
porting hearths. The arches and hearths shall be at least 
twenty inches in width, measured from the face of the chim¬ 
ney breast. The length of the trimmer arch and the length of 
the hearth shall not be less than the width of the chimney 
breast. Fire brick shall be used to line the fire back, sides, 
throat and walls of the ash pit. 

No smoke pipe should be placed nearer than nine inches 
to any lath and plaster or board ceiling or wall partitions. 
Smoke pipes of ranges, laundry 
stoves or furnaces shall not be less 
than eighteen inches from any wood¬ 
work, unless the woodwork is pro¬ 
tected.

With a few exceptions, furnaces 
with fire pots up to and including 24 
inches in diameter are connected to 
the chimney by an 8-inch smoke pipe. 

Those above 24-inch are usually con¬ 
nected by a 9-inch smoke pipe. 

A chimney inside a building will 
keep warmer and have better draft 
than one built in outer wall or out¬ 
side the wall. A cold chimney has 
poor draft. 

Plan chimney so as to avoid long smoke 
or stove pipe. Also place Thimble so that i 
furnace smoke pipe or stove pipe will pitch 
up to Thimble at least one inch per foot. A 
level pipe reduces draft. 

Chimneys for soft coal or wood fires re¬ 
quire 25 per cent more area than for hard 
coal. 

The cheapest way to increase draft is to Cut No< sss—Firepiace c«n- 
add a chimney top to the height of chimney, struetion.

Our Chimney Pipe is made of the same mixture of clays as our flue lining; is 
thoroughly burned to withstand heat and cold, gases, acids, smoke and varying tem¬ 
peratures. It is made with socket for joint connections and in various fittings for use 
inside or outside of temporary or permanent buildings, where regular brick chimneys 
are not practicable. On the next page, we show several methods of installing chimney 
pipe and fittings. Good cement mortar should be used in making joints. 

Lengths given do not include the socket. Depth of 6-inch socket, 1% inches; depth

Methods of Using Chimney or Stovepipe 



Cut No. 1872 —Fire 
Clay Thimble extend¬ 
ing' through chimney 
and butted against flue 
lining. 


Method No. 1 Outside. Shows a drop 
bottom fitting resting on bracket. Open¬ 
ing receives stovepipe. The bottom end is 
closed. Straight chimney pipe carries the 
smoke above roof. Strap irons placed 
around the pipe and fastened to the out¬ 
side wall hold the cemented pipe in place. 

Method No. 2 Inside. Shows how drop 
bottom fitting is placed on wall bracket, 
with its chime flange hanging on second 
floor. Connections with stoves are made 
through opening in drop bottom and dou¬ 
ble opening fitting above. Straight chim¬ 
ney pipe completes the chimney. 

Method No. 3 Inside. Shows chime bot¬ 
tom fitting with its chime flange hanging 
on second floor and stovepipe entering 
directly into bottom. Single opening fit¬ 
ting receives stovepipe above. An anchor 
top finishes the chimney above roof. 

Any of these methods may be varied to 
fit prevailing conditions. All joints must 
be cemented carefully. 

Chimney or Stovepipe Thimbles 

Thimbles are made and burned in the same manner as flue lin¬ 
ing. They are used to make the opening which connects stovepipe, 
furnace pipe or clean out hole to flue through the chimney. They 
are superior to metal thimbles, which rust or disintegrate or to a 
round opening shaped in the brick chimney. 

The joint where smoke pipe enters the thimble should be 
made airtight with boiler putty or asbestos cement. When pos¬ 
sible, the thimble should extend through the flue lining. The 
joint between thimble and flue lining must be carefully pointed 
to make it airtight.

Chimney Tops—Practical and Ornamental 

Made in Various Sizes as Well as Styles 

Chimney Tops have a practical as well as an ornamental value. By adding height 
to chimneys, they cause better draft. The unsightliness of loose brick on the top of 
the chimney is prevented. 

Choice of styles will depend on individual taste, the type of the building or chimney 
and the size of the Flue Lining. It will be of interest to builders and architects to know 
that we now make a top in one or more styles for each popular size of flue lining. 

Our chimney tops are made from a mixture of fire clay which is not affected by 
heat and will not crack from changes in. temperature. They are thoroughly hard 
burned so that they will stand the weather and last indefinitely. They are much 
superior to metal, both in appearance and durability.

Painting the Chim¬ 
ney Tops 



These Chimney 
Tops are buff or red 
tinted in color, after 
burning. They are 
easily painted before 
installation and lend 
a iesirable and at¬ 
tractive color effect 
to the building. The 
color will be deter¬ 
mined by the general 
conditions. Dark col¬ 
ors such as Red, 
Brown, Green or 
Black are suggested,

in all were included in the original plans to add to the distinctiveness of the English type of architec¬ 
ture. Some chimneys carry three, some four tops, as shown at right. Dougherty and Gardner, archi¬ 
tects, Nashville, Tenn.

W. S. DICKEY CLAY MFG. CO., KANSAS CITY, MO. 


Windguard Chimney Tops 

In addition to increasing the height of the chimney, the Windguard Styles greatly 
improve the draft. This is because the air current is deflected upward through the in¬ 
clined, vented slots of the windguard and out of the top, creating a stronger draft in 
its wake. The hooded windguard will prevent down drafts in the chimney. 

Old chimneys which provide a poor draft, because they are either too short or 
defective, will be much improved by the addition of a chimney top.

Chimney Tops Improve the Draft. 



Chimney Tops on Old 
Chimneys 

The use of Chimney 
Tops is not restricted, by 
any means, to new chim¬ 
neys or chimneys with 
Flue Lining. They can 
be placed on old chim¬ 
neys with equally good 
results as to the im¬ 
provement of draft, and 
the appearance of both 
chimney and house. Old 
chimneys should be neat¬ 
ly pointed up while the 
workman has the mortar 
at hand. The Chimney 
Top should be placed in 
sufficient mortar to be 
securely attached to the 
chimney. 

The air current strik¬ 
ing the roof beyond the 

low chimney is banked against the roof, with the result that the oncoming current of 
air is deflected down the chimney, choking the draft. With the Chimney Top, the 
air current has free passage above the ridge line. When it strikes the chimney top it 
is deflected upward through the inclined vented slots of the windguard and out of 
the top, creating a draft in its wake. 


Cut No. 1885—Illustrates how a windguard Chimney Top Improves 
the draft in a low chimney. Chimney at left ne*eds a Chimney Top to 
extend it above peak of roof. 



Cut No. 1883^The chimneys shown above wiere improperly built, being lower than the roof peaks, 
resulting in defective draft. Windguard Fire Clay Chimney Tops were used to extend the chimneys 
high enough to create the desired draft.

Methods of Connecting Chimney Tops and Flue Linings. 


Inasmuch as Flue Lin¬ 
ing is essential to every 
§■00(1 Chimney, and Chim¬ 
ney Tops improve the 
draft, it is well to plan to 
combine their benefits. 
When doing so, it is poss¬ 
ible to attach the Chim¬ 
ney Top securely to the 
Flue Lining, which is 
extended up and socketed 
into the base of the 
Chimney Top. Mortar be-

Double Wall Hollow Building Blocks 
Everlasting — Vitrified, Salt Glazed 

Wall section at left shows how mortar is forced 
into the vertical spaces between double walls, making 
tight tongue and groove joints, both air and water¬ 
proof. 

Our Double Wall is the result of years of experi¬ 
ence in the manufacture of building material. These 
high grade Blocks derive their quality from the skill¬ 
ful blending, tempering, drying, burning and glazing 
of special clays. Everlasting quality is assured. 

The Double Wall with narrow air spaces makes 
it easy to get a tight mortar joint. Note the illustra¬ 
tion. 

The design of the Blocks gives them extra strength 
and being Vitrified they will carry a greater weight than the ordinary hard burned 
Blocks. The large size of the Blocks reduces the construction cost by reducing time 
required to build. 

A permanent building material which lasts forever. No repairs. No paint. Four 
walls and three dead air spaces make the building warm in winter and cool in summer. 
Walls easily washed down and kept sanitary.

Sketches Showing Methods of Construction 


Corner of 8 Inch Wall 


Corner of 6 Inch Wall 



Eight inch Corner Blocks 
lay 16 inches in the wall on 
one side, from the corner, 
and 8 inches on the other 
side, alternating in one di¬ 
rection and then the other. 
Thus the joints are broken 
in the middle of the blocks. 
A smooth full finished cor¬ 
ner is made and a dead air 
insulating space sealed in 
each course of the wall. 


Fitting Gable Angles 


Gable Blocks 



In order to meet the dif¬ 
ficulty formerly met with, 
when building walls under 
gambrel roofs and espe¬ 
cially when the ,roof was 
framed with more than one 
angle, we have designed 
our 8x8x16 in. and 6x8x16 
in. Gable Blocks. Clipping 
of blocks is avoided and 
clean rapid work assured. 
The 8x8x16 inch Gable 
Blocks fit the first roof 
angle and the 6x8x16 in. 
Gable Blocks fit the second 
roof angle, as shown above. 



In building the corner of 
a 6 inch wall, corner blocks 
6x8x14 in. are used in con¬ 
nection with 6x8x16 in. 
wall blocks. These are laid 
in alternating directions, 
breaking the joint in the 
middle of the 6x8x16 in. 
block next adjoining the 
corner block and regularly 
throughout the wall 
courses. 


Fastening Plate to Top of 
Wall 



A Corner Block filled with 
concrete is placed every 
fifth or sixth block in top 
course. A %-inch bolt 
long enough to extend up 
through the timber plate is 
imbedded in concrete. A 
nut and washer securely 
fastens plate to wall.

Joist Block 



Cnt No. 372 


There is no difficulty, 
when our Joist Block is 
used, to get a bearing for 
the joists. The bearing 
ends of the joists fit into 
the recessed ends of Joist 
Blocks, making the joists 
16 inches on centers. It is 
unnecessary to clip or cut 
the blocks to fit; they are 
all ready to use. 


Dickey Flashing Blocks in 
Wall

We make a Flashing 
Block especially adapted to 
be built into fire walls of 
Hollow Building Blocks. 
This 8x8x16 Flashing Block 
is made with double groove 
—the upper to receive cap 
flashing and the lower for 
base flashing. See specifi¬ 
cations on Page 28 for 
methods of placing flash¬ 
ing.

for heavier struc¬ 
tures, can be built 
by using 8-inch and 
4-inch blocks to-

pilasters, if load requires it. 


Ventilating ducts 
or conduits are built 
into tile walls by us¬

outlet openings are 
made by breaking 
blocks so as to make 
double wall tile

Window Openings; Jamb Blocks 


Cut No. 398 

Where grounds are re¬ 
quired in wall, joist blocks 
are laid in with nailing 
blocks set into the recess 
at end of block. These can 
be placed in any course or 
along the wall as desired. 
The blocks can be reversed 
by simply turning them 
over with the larger face 
outside.

Lintels across doors and 
windows are made by filling 
the cells in the first course 
of blocks, above the openings, 
with reinforced concrete. The 
tops of the blocks can easily 
be broken out by gently tap¬ 
ping along the desired lines; 
then a sharp blow will sever 
it along the lines marked. 
After blocks are placed and 
reinforcing set, the concrete 
is poured to fill the blocks. 
Support for lintel, until con¬ 
crete is set will be necessary 
where a wide opening is

Good Appearance, Economy and Durability 


Garage Building 



Cut No. 805—Garage built of Vitrified Salt Glazed 
Building- Blocks by Stanley tfc Wood, Pattonsburg, Wo. 


The rich brown color of the Hollow 
Building Blocks, combined with well 
pointed mortar, makes a very attractive 
building. This good appearance is as 
permanent as the Vitrified Salt Glazed 
Clay. No paint will ever be required. 

Use Colored Mortar 

A pleasing effect is obtained by using 
a dark gray, brown or black cement 
mortar. This adds much in appearance 
and will assist in keeping the wall clean. 

Warehouse and Office 


Keep Walls Clean 

Mortar spots, stains or streaks 
on faces of blocks spoil the ap¬ 
pearance of the building. The 
use of a stiff mortar, care in lay¬ 
ing and in wiping off the surface 
of each course of blocks will add 
greatly to the good appearance 
of the wall. Use a piece of gun¬ 
ny sack, old carpet or heavy 
cloth. 


Office Building 



Cut No. 18SH)—Drexel Poultry and Egg Co.’s attractive 
warehouse at Drexel, Mo., made of Dickey Glazed Hollow 
Building- 'Blocks. 


Oil or Acid Cleans Walls 



After the mortar has set so it 
will not smear, an oiled cloth can be 
used to clean the glazed tile. Coal 
oil or gasoline on the rag is best. 

Commercial muriatic acid is also 
used. Apply with a stiff scrub 
brush. Do not place acid in a tin 
vessel.

Decay Proof, Pleasing Appear¬ 
ance, Reasonably Low First Cost, 
Low Cost of Upkeep. No other 
material supplies these essential 
features so fully as our Vitrified 
Glazed Clay Hollow Building 
Blocks. 


Pleasant Quarters for Animals 
and Fowls 

There is no question now but 
that all farm animals show bet¬ 
ter results, both physically and 
financially, when quartered in 
clean, comfortable buildings. 

This applies with added force 
to poultry. Glazed Hollow 
Blocks are permanent protection 
and insures the better results.

The Dickey Flashing Block 


Securely Seals the Joint Between Roof and Wall 



Dickey Flnsliing Block Flashing Block Flashing Block 


Old Flashing Methods Unsatisfactory 

The old method of nailing the roofing to a wood strip results in cracks and 
breaks. This is not because the roofing material is inferior, but because the nailing 
makes the roofing rigid and inflexible. No allowance is made for expansion and con¬ 
traction, with the result that the roofing tears away from the nails. In other cases 
the nails rust or corrode, releasing the flashing. Leaks in roofs are usually found at 
the point which should be protected by flashing. 

The Dickey Flashing Block, with the double groove, provides an anchorage for 
double flashing, receiving the base flashing or the roofing into the lower groove, 
where it is attached but not fastened rigidly. The upper groove provides a rigid an¬ 
chorage for the cap flashing, which may be of metal or some other material. Expan¬ 
sion and contraction is provided for and leaks through the flashing joint success¬ 
fully eliminated. The cost is slight, considering the safety insured and that each 
block takes the place of two brick. 

Being made of Vitrified Clay, it is impervious to moisture and is everlasting. It 
is adapted, because of its size and shape, to easy handling and laying. The scorings on 
three sides act as clinches to hold the mortar and retain the block firmly imbedded 
in the wall.

7 ROOFING 

8 ROOF FLASHING 


In the angle at an inside corner the 
regular Flashing Blocks are used by but¬ 
ting the end of block No. 1 against the 
slotted face of another block No. 1 as 
shown in circle No. 2. The angle at a 
projecting outside corner is made with 
two Mitered Corner Flashing Blocks No. 
3 as in circle No. 4. As necessity arises 
Half Length Block No. 5 is used. 

The roofing material, No. 7, is ex¬ 
tended up along the wall but not fast¬ 
ened. The base flashing No. 8 extends 
out three inches or more on the main 
roof deck and up into the lower slotted 
opening of the Flashing Block and is 
firmly tucked in with Oakum. The cap 
flashing, No. 9, of metal or other ma¬ 
terial is permanently cemented in the up¬ 
per slotted opening of the Flashing 
Block. The result is a triple sealed joint, 
safe, secure and reliable.

Seal the Vital Flashing- Joint 

The best roofing job is no better than the joint between the roof and the wall. 
The most common joints, made either by nailed lath or by nailing flashing to a nailing 
strip of wood, are only makeshifts inviting trouble and damage, because the wood 
will decay and the nails corrode and loosen. 

The largest manufacturers of roofing in the United States all lay special stress on 
the necessity for the Use of Flashing Blocks. One states that 50% of all complaints 
would be eliminated if Flashing Blocks were specified. Another claims that 75% of 
roof failures are due to inefficient flashing and another refuses to guarantee unless 
Flashing Blocks are used. 

Reliable roofers are the people to engage to do a first class roofing job. They 
are only too anxious to overcome the possibility of their good work being discredited 
by leaks, resulting from the specification of improper flashing and poor coping on the 
wall. Co-operate with the roofers and get a thoroughly good job by specifying 
Dickey Vitrified Clay Flashing Blocks and our Vitrified Salt Glazed Clay Wall Coping. 


Specifications for Installation of Dickey Flashing Blocks 


The Dickey Flashing Block securely anchors the flashing into wall and insures a joint on a par 
with the best roof and is unquestionably superior, in protection and durability, to other methods of 
attaching flashing, when used as we specify. 

When Blocks are laid horizontally: Blocks shall be laid in wall as brick is built up, starting with 
bottom of blocks two (2) courses above high point of roof and extending on a level line until bottom 
of block is four (4) courses above roof, then drop the line of blocks down to (2) courses of brick 
(height of block) making the upper course of block overlap the lower course twelve (12) inches. 
Continue to drop the courses, as above, throughout the length of the wall. In all head and cross walls 
the blocks shall be laid across on a level line. Special mitered blocks, in pairs, shall be used for all 
outer angles, such as offsets and chimney breasts. Inner angles shall be constructed by butting the 
end of one block against the face of another so that grooves match, the end of one block extending 
four (4) inches into the abutting wall. 

When Blocks are laid parallel to slope of roof: The brick shall be cut to conform to angulation 
and clipping of blocks shall be done at intersections of inner and outer corners. Installation of blocks 
must always begin at high point of roof and grooves in blocks be made to match at all joints. 


Flashing, Method No. 1: As shown by detailed drawing, 
Cut No. 1564, the roofing material shall be extended up along 
the wall, but not fastened. Base flashing shall be tucked into 
the lower groove with Oakum to allow for play of expansion 
and contraction, and the metal or other cap flashing shall be 
permanently cemented into the upper groove with the best 
Portland Cement mortar or high grade Asphaltic Cement. 

Method No. 1 insures better results because of the addi¬ 
tional base flashing, and is worth the cost of installing. 

Flashing, Method No. 2: It is not absolutely necessary to 
use the base flashing No. 8, as shown in Cut No. 1564. When 
base flashing is not used, the roofing material shall be ex¬ 
tended up along the wall and into the lower groove, where it 
shall be tucked in with Oakum, but not rigidly fastened, allow¬ 
ing for play of expansion and contraction. The metal or other 
cap flashing shall be permanently cemented into the upper 
groove with the best Portland Cement mortar or high grade 
Asphaltic Cement. 

Method No. 2 reduces the cost of construction, but makes 
a satisfactory job. 



Cut No. 1564 


Note: We advocate a triangular cant or angle strip of wood, 1% by 2% inches or larger, to be 
nailed securely at the intersection of wood roof sheathing and wall. This prevents bending of roof- 
fng at a sharp angle and avoids cracking of roofing or the base flashing. Illustration above fully 

illustrates the method. 


Worn-Out Flashing Easily Replaced 


This double groove block makes it possible for 
is worn out. Simply turn up the cap flashing while 
one. It is not necessary, therefore, to remove the 
flashing. 


the roof flashing to be easily replaced in case it 
inserting a new roof flashing in place of the old 
cap flashing in case you wish to replace the roof

Dickey Vitrified Glazed Clay Meter Boxes 


Dickey Vitrified Glazed Clay Meter 
Boxes have earned the approval of water 
works officials in all of the many towns 
and cities where they have been installed. 
They have proven to be the correct hous¬ 
ing for outdoor meters. This is because 
they are permanent, accessible for reading 
or changing meters and protect the meter 
from frost. 

Dickey Meter Boxes are made of Vitri¬ 
fied Salt Glazed Clay. It is impossible 
for our boxes to rust, rot or decay. Our 
material withstands destroying acids and 
gases found in large sewer systems with¬ 
out deterioration. 

The slotted sides are one of the im¬ 
portant features of our boxes. They per¬ 
mit the settling of the 
box without danger of 
damage to the water 
service. 

Dickey Glazed Clay 
Meter Boxes are made in 
12-inch, 15-inch, 18-inch 
and 21-inch inside diam¬ 
eter and in length suited 
to different local require¬ 
ments. The shell is 
strong and substantial 
and varies in thickness 
with the diameters of 
the boxes. 



Cut No. 1943—Section Showing- the Dickey Box 
with Meter installed. The Metal Cover is fastened 
to the Glazed Tile Meter Box by two tie rods, one 
of which is shown. A special socket wrench is 
required to fit the locking nut ami turn the cover. 

These boxes can be easily handled, con¬ 
veniently loaded and will withstand any¬ 
thing but actual abuse. 

Setting—The depth of the water serv¬ 
ice is the basis for the size of the box to 
be used. The following table will, if fol¬ 
lowed, give the meters ample protection 
from frost. 

If the water service is three feet below 
the ground line, the proper Glazed Clay 
Meter Box would be 30 inches long and 
15 inches in diameter.

Dickey Vitrified Glazed Clay Meter Boxes—Continued 
Locking Metal Covers 


LOCKING CENTERING 



Cut No. 1944—Showing under side of Metal Cov¬ 
er and Cover Frame with locking', releasing- and 
centering attachments. Also holes for bolts which 
fasten tie rods to cover frame. 

Several unique and valuable features 
have been incorporated in this new lock¬ 
ing Metal Cover for Dickey Meter Boxes. 

Safe Meter—The meter is safe under a 
locked metal cover and is protected from 
frost. 

Fastened Cover—The cover frame is 
securely attached to the meter box by 
two adjustable tie rods. One end of the 
tie rod is bolted to the cover frame. The 
other end is formed into a stirrup which 
engages the bottom of the meter box. 
See cut No. 1943, page 30. 

Cover Lock—The locking attachments 
are on the under side of the cover and the 
cover frame. Four centering lugs keep the 
cover in place. Two locking arms on the 
cover engage two tapering, locking lugs 
on the cover frame. 

Light Cover—This cover is very much 
lighter than any formerly made. 


Accessibility—If the socket wrench is 
provided, this light weight, locking, metal 
cover provides easy access to the meter 
for reading, inspecting or changing. With¬ 
out the special wrench it is inaccessible. 

The diameter of the opening in the 
cover frame, when cover is removed, is: 
12-inch size, 9 inches; 15-inch size, 12% 
inches; 18-inch size, 16 inches; 21-inch 
size, 19 inches.

Dickey Glazed Clay Covers for Meter Boxes 



Cut No. 1377—Glazed Clay Cover for Dickey 
Meter Box. 

During the war period, government 
restrictions on cast iron products made it 
almost impossible to supply iron covers. 
We then perfected a Glazed Clay Cover. 
These covers have a maximum thickness 
of two and one-half inches in the center, 
tapering to one and one-half inches on 
the edges. 


We can furnish 
Glazed Clay Cov¬ 
ers at much low¬ 
er cost than Met¬ 
al Covers.

Vitrified Salt Glazed Wall Coping is the cheapest permanent Wall Coping obtain¬ 
able, because it resists all the destructive elements acting on an exposed wall. Rain, 
heat, frost, snow and acids cannot affect the everlasting and impervious Vitrified 
Salt Glazed Clay. 

The importance of permanent Wall Coping is becoming so generally understood 
among practical builders that they invariably advocate the use of coping. 


Reasons for Using Wall Coping Are Many 

There are several good reasons for the use of permanent Wall Coping, and more 
especially for the use of Vitrified Salt Glazed Clay Wall Coping. One reason, which is 
rarely considered, is that a wall without permanent Coping involves the risk of a leak 
through the joints of the wall, after the mortar has been disintegrated by rain, snow, 
heat or frost. 


Repairs and Accidents Are Eliminated 

Another sufficient reason for the use of Vitrified Wall Coping is that the top of 
the wall is unfinished, both in appearance and cost, unless this Coping is used. A plain 
top on the wall or a top wall finished with a mortar spread has the appearance of 
cheapness. Eventually the top of a wall built without Coping begins to loosen and the 
brick to fall apart and onto the roof. This lends a rundown appearance to the whole 
building and adds expense when repairs are made and the wall restored. 

There remains to be considered the possibility of serious accident and injury due 
to brick falling from a wall not finished with Coping. Such accidents cannot occur 
when the wall is finished with Vitrified Wall Coping. 

Considered from every angle of safety, durability and economy Vitrified Wall 
Coping is superior to stone or concrete. It also has the advantage of overhanging 
lugs which attach and retain it more securely than a flat Coping can possibly be 
fastened. 

Specifications for Wall Coping: Use Pqrtland Cement Mortar for laying Vitrified 
Wall Coping—Lime mortar disintegrates. Coping should be imbedded in a heavy 
spread of mortar laid on top of wall. All socket joints must be completely filled, and 
the exposed mortar carefully pointed. On s’oping walls, the sockets should be laid 
down the slope in order to prevent water from running into the socket joint.

Broken Walls and Unsightly Roofs Result From Laek of Coping 



Cut No. HUM—The above picture, taken at Ninth and Baltimore Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri, 
plainly shows the necessity of proper wall protection. Notice the two walls, one unprotected and the 
other properly covered with Vitrified Wall Copins. The covered wall is in perfect condition, and the 
other has not only caused leaky roof, hut several courses of brick must lie taken off before it can be 
properly repaired. 


Many Uses for Vitrified Wall Coping 



Cut No. 1655—Above photograph shows Vitrified 
Wall Coping on the wall of a basement entrance to 
one of Kansas City’s fine apartments. 


It is a mistake to conclude that the 
use of Vitrified Wall Coping is confined 
to new construction. Old walls, which 
are showing the results of wear and 
tear, should have prompt attention be¬ 
fore it becomes necessary to go to large 
expense in rebuilding the walls. Vitri¬ 
fied Wall Coping should be used in 
every such case to avoid recurrence of 
expensive repairs. 

Architects, dealers in Wall Coping 
and persons engaged in construction 
work will find many opportunities to 
give this valuable and practical advice 
to owners of buildings requiring such 
repairs. 

Our Vitrified Wall Coping for build¬ 
ings is as well adapted to sloping and 
pitched walls as it is to horizontal walls. 
It is being used for walls of Apart¬ 
ments, Business Blocks, Warehouses, 
Hotels, Hospitals, Schools, Factories, 
Power Plants, Private Garages, etc. 
Also for retaining and garden walls.

The Dickey Soil Saving' Dams 


“Keep Your Fields Within Your Fences” 


A Soil Saving Dam catches the top 
soil washed from the fields — also 
stores the surplus water.

cemented in pipe 


Clear stone* from stream bed and tamp aoft earth firmly 
around and under pipe Dig a small hole under ‘‘Bell*' ol 
each pipe so that *’Barrel* rests on Itrm ground., 

Installing- the Soil Saving Dam. 


Soil Saving Dams 
fill up useless ravines 
and gullies, saving the 
loosened soil and in 
many cases storing 
surplus water for use 
during drouth. 

Every rain that is 
now carrying away 
fine top soil and en¬ 
larging a gully or 
ditch would be filling 
up if there was a soil 
Saving Dam in opera¬ 
tion. 


A soil saving dam is in reality only the old-style earth dam with a proper outlet 
provided for the water. By using the soil saving dam the flow of the water is 
checked long enough that the sediment is deposited on the upper side of the dam 
before the water runs through the sewer pipe outlet. 

We will be pleased to offer advice or suggestion. 


Construction 

If ditch or gully crosses property line, locate dam at line. Clear ditch to get 
solid footing in soil for the pipe. Dig curved trench with proper fall downstream, 
scooping out place for each pipe “bell” so that “barrel” of pipe will rest solidly on 

trench bottom. 

Lay pipe, beginning at downstream 
end, placing concrete or stone spillway 
under outfall pipe to prevent undermin¬ 
ing. Cement all joints carefully and 
keep inner joints smooth. Place “T” 
joint at upstream end and cement the 
clay stopper securely in place. Set one 
or more upright pipes in “T” socket. 
Height of upright pipe can be increased 
as the ditch is filled with sediment. 

After cement sets, tamp first dirt in 
trench carefully. Continue to tamp 
until fill is two feet above pipe. Scraper 
or dirt wagon may then be used to 
complete the dam. 

In order to keep the flow line clear 
of rubbish, stalks, etc., set four posts, 
firmly placed around the upright inlet 
pipes. Then surround the posts with a 
wire netting guard. 

See schedules on next page for pipe 
capacities and quantity of pipe re-

Drainage Capacities of Different Sizes 



Cut No. 67fi—Reinforeod Concrete Spillway 
which is practical for a soil dam. A spillway 
of rocks or timbers may be used but the one 
shown above is to be preferred, where a large 
dam is constructed and the pipe drains a large 
area. 


All pipe must be Salt-Glazed Vitrified 
Clay to be permanent. The pipe must 
be sufficiently large to carry the run¬ 
off of water from the heaviest rain, to 
prevent the water flowing over and 
breaking the dam. Better too large 
than otherwise. The following tables 
may be used as a guide in determining

Above figures are based on 8-foot 
width across top of dam and slope of 
11/2 to 1. This allows a good wagon 
drive across the fill. Where narrower 
top width is used the number of pieces 
of pipe will be reduced accordingly.

Vitrified Salt-Glazed Culvert Pipe 

It must always be remembered that our Vitrified Salt- 
Glazed Culvert Pipe is made by a process of manufacture in 
which all phases and parts are carefully controlled and made 
uniform by experience and supervision. The failures of other 
materials, due to non-adaptability or to uncertain quality, result¬ 
ing from varying mixtures and indifferent handling of raw 
materials, are not incurred in the use of our Culvert Pipe. 

Our Vitrified Salt-Glazed Double Strength Culvert Pipe 
will not rust, rot, corrode, decay or disintegrate and is not 
affected by acids or alkalis in the water or soil. The smooth, 
salt-glazed inner surface offers no lodging place for rubbish nor 
resistance to the rapid flow of the water. 

Vitrified Salt-Glazed Culvert Pipe is adapted to and manufactured for permanent 
service in road cross culverts, roadside culverts, farm entrance culverts, driveway cul¬ 
verts, railroad culverts, etc. 

In soggy soil a supporting bed of concrete should be laid to keep the pipe in align¬ 
ment. Where dirt covering is thin, the Vitrified Pipe should be jacketed in a con¬ 
crete casing to prevent wheels cutting through the shallow dirt to pipe. This casing 
can be made without extra labor of making forms, the pipe being the inner and the 
trench sides the outer form.

Vitrified Salt-Glazed Sewer Pipe 

Standard 




•6-In. Sewer 
Pipe, Stand¬ 
ard. 


Our Vitrified Salt-Glazed Sewer Pipe is 
made from selected clays of such composi¬ 
tion that it will stand the intense heat re¬ 
quired for vitrification and glazing. This 
clay when burned at high temperature 
forms a dense, hard, vitreous body. The 
smooth salt glazing attaches to and be¬ 
comes a part of the vitrified body of the 
pipe. The heat destroys every perishable 
atom in the clay and the glazed surface is 
impervious to moisture and resists alkalis 
and acids formed in sewage. Our Sewer 
Pipe is everlasting; will not rot, rust, de¬ 
cay, corrode, or disintegrate. Its smooth¬ 
ness assures a maximum carrying capacity by reduc¬ 
ing friction and by promoting rapid flow. As noth¬ 
ing can lodge on the smooth surface clog¬ 
ging is avoided. The pores are closed and 
the pipe does not leak from within nor ab¬ 
sorb fromi without. 

Our first quality Vitrified Salt-Glazed 
Sewer Pipe has attained its envied reputa¬ 
tion as a finished product because it is 
made under uniform conditions and accu¬ 
rate supervision. It is ready for use when 
shipped and can be quickly laid by un¬ 
skilled labor. 

Note the wide variety of uses for Sewer 
Pipe listed on page 40. 

Lengths given below do not include the 
socket or bell of the pipe, but are the net 
laying lengths of the pipe barrel. Depths 
of Sockets are shown in specifications on 
this page. Weights and measurements 
are approximate. 

Standard Pipe is made thick enough 
and of sufficient strength for ordinary 
sewer work, and the many other purposes 
for which sewer pipe is commonly used.

Vitrified Salt Glazed Sewer Pipe is Adapted to Many and Varied Uses 

While sewer construction work requires more Sewer Pipe than any other one 
kind of work, yet it is truly surprising how great a quantity of sewer pipe is sold for 
other purposes having no relation whatever to sewers. We have been pleased as well 
as surprised by the variety of uses found for this everlasting product. The fact that it 
is glazed and not affected by decay, acids, rust, rot or corrosion accounts for the 
wide scope of its utility. 

W T e are listing, for the benefit of dealers and users, those uses which have been 
called to our attention. Doubtless there are many others. 

Sanitary Sewers, Storm Sewers, Railroad Drainage, Covering for Wood Piling, 
Gravity Flow Lines, Culverts, Well or Spring Linings, Cistern Tops, Rat Proof Foun¬ 
dation, Piers for Small Buildings, Down Spouts, Garbage Receptacles, Waste Contain¬ 
ers, Smoke Houses, Rain Barrels, Water Filters, Fire Barrels, Flower Pots, Water 
Troughs, Sockets for Iron or Wooden Fence Posts, Control Boxes for Irrigation, Con¬ 
duits, Sand Boxes for Golf Courses, Heating and Ventilating Conduits or Ducts, Soil 
Saving Dams, Meter Boxes, Porch Columns, Filter Beds, Battery Boxes, Smoke Stacks, 
Hog and Cattle Feeders, Iceless Refrigerators, Grain Bins, Forms for Concrete Piers, 
Lawn- Rollers, Gasoline Storage Tanks.

T-JUNCTION 


Sewer Pipe Fittings—“T” Branches—Standard 

A “T” Branch is made with the inlet head set on the 
main pipe at an angle of ninety degrees. “T” Branches are 
used for lamp holes, risers from deep sewers, and in other 
places where conditions require them. 

When a forty-five degree inlet is required, in a size 
not made in “Y” Branches, a % curve set in a “T” Branch 
of proper size will make a “Y” connection. 

The “T” inlet head is molded on the main pipe before 
either drying, burning or glazing is done, making the whole 
a one piece, salt glazed unit.

Cut No. 395—“T” Junc¬ 
tion, Double Strength. 


Sewer Pipe Fittings—“T” Branches—Double Strength 

A “T” Branch is made with the inlet head set on the 
main pipe at an angle of ninety degrees. “T” Branches are 
used for lamp holes, risers from deep sewers, and in other 
places where conditions require them. 

When a forty-five degree inlet is required in a size not 
made in “Y” Branches, a % curve set in a “T” Branch of 
proper size will make a “Y” connection. 

The “T” inlet head is molded on the main pipe before 
either drying, burning or glazing is done, making the whole a 
one piece salt glazed unit. 

Single “T” Branches or Junctions, Double Strength, No. 1

Vitrified Salt-Glazed Traps 


Our traps are made of the same special clays, and go through the same process 
of drying and burning as our Sewer Pipe. They are vitrified and salt glazed, which 
makes them smooth and helps keep them clear and clean. 


k 


Traps are made in various forms and shaped so as to provide a bend in which 
there always remains a liquid seal which prevents the passage 
of offensive and dangerous sewer gas from the street sewers 
-. a - -4 or a septic tank into the house. See next page for details con¬ 
cerning methods of using different traps.

VENT TRAP 


CENTER H HTOM> 


H H P TRAP 


The Vent Trap is adapted to 
more eonditions than any oth¬ 
er and, therefore, has the 
largest sale of all. 


A vertical 
line delivering' 
flow through 
an elbow con¬ 
nection into a 
Vent trap is 
better than di- 
r e c t vertical 
connection into 
a “P” trap. 


This trap is practical for 
some specific uses, but a Vent 
trap will usually serve the 
same purpose. 


Necessary only where a ver¬ 
tical line is connected direct¬

Vent trap senes instead. 




A stopper o r 
threaded metal 
ferrule, which 
closes an opening 
in a trap, must be 
firmly fixed in 
the socket.

Three Traps Meet the Re¬ 
quirements 

The three traps illustrated above are the traps 
we carry in stock. They will meet all the condi¬ 
tions encountered in routine practice. 

Whenever we furnish one of them instead of a 
Plain “P” Trap or a Plain Running Trap we also 
provide a stopper to close the opening.

Cut No. 1893 
— Occassionally 
close quarters 
against a wall re¬ 
quire the vertical 
line to connect directly 
into the vertical open¬ 
ing of the H. H. “P” trap. 
Whenever possible, how¬ 
ever, an elbow connect¬ 
ing into a horizontal 
line which is in turn 
connected to a Vent trap 
is better practice. 


& 



Concentrate on the most practi 
cal material. 


Cut No. 1880—Below is shown a Vent trap with 
horizontal line delivering the flow from left. 
Where possible, this is preferable to the elbow 
inlet shown in Cut No. 1878. 


Clean out opening in “T” head, closed with 
stopper or threaded metal ferrule, gives access 
to Vent trap, where a vertical riser enters vent.

Cut N o. 1879- 
Shows a Vent trap in 
a horizontal line, 
with slop hopper and 
vertical riser c o n- 
meeting into vent. 
This seals the line 
beyond trap and 
vents the line behind 
the trap.

Vitrified Salt Glazed, Split or Channel Pipe 
for Conduits, Gutters and Drains 



Cut IVo. 1840—Split Pipe, Half Circle. 


Vitrified Salt Glazed Split Pipe is made 
by the same process as Standard Salt Glazed 
Sewer pipe, except that the pipe is scored 
along opposite sides while the clay is green. 
The pipe is standard weight with socket. 
It is burned, glazed and shipped in complete 
circles. Gentle tapping with a hammer, along 
the scored lines, severs the two half circles. 

Conduit Pipe—Twin Segments 

In nearly all power, gas and refrigerating 
plants, flour mills and in street conduits it 
has been found necessary to cover under¬ 
ground metal pipes to prevent waste of heat, 
corrosion and electrolytic destructive action. 
Nothing has been found so permanent or 
satisfactory as our vitrified glazed clay con¬ 
duits, because they do not corrode, crumble, 
decay, disintegrate, or rust. The half circle 
members are easy to install and when prop¬ 
erly laid together with cement mortar in a 
full circle of two segments they are mois¬ 
ture proof. 

Split Gutter Pipe 

Vitrified Salt Glazed Split Pipe is very 
practical for gutters or drains alongside of 
walks and drives. Also for run off drains 
from down spouts. They are especially 


adapted for service in connection with 
retaining walls, where a terrace meets 
the top of the wall. The split pipe is 
placed at the base of terrace and be¬ 
hind top of wall, where it receives the 
water from terrace and prevents it 
from.seeping behind and weakening the 
wall. 



Other Uses for Split Pipe 

A wide variety of uses have been 
found for Split Pipe. We name a few: 

Open gutters, coverings for wood 
posts, feeding troughs, chute linings, 
coverings for telegraph cables, cover¬ 
ings for wood piling, combs for house 
roofs, distribution lines in filter beds, 


C'ut Xo. 1345—The illustration shows how our 
half eirele conduit pipe is installed in a full 
circle of two segments. Steam pipes are sup¬ 
ported on metal rollers within the conduit. The 
rollers allow for play of expansion and contrac¬ 
tion. A supporting base of concrete maintains 
the alignment. Vitrified drain tile is laid un¬ 
derneath to carry away seepage water. Insulat¬ 
ing material can he placed within the conduit 
and around pipe lines.

The Best Well Tubing—Vitrified Salt Glazed Socket Sewer Pipe 

A good well is one having pure water flowing in, but protected 
from surface water at the top and from polluted, disease bearing 
seepage originating in barnyards, privy vaults or cesspools. 

Wood, rock, cement or iron linings for wells fail eventually to 
protect the water from this serious menace. 

The only permanent safeguard is impervious, vitrified glazed 
clay well tubing extending from above the ground down to the water, 
cemented joints making a smooth, water-tight tube. 

This Vitrified Glazed Well Pipe is best because it does not rust, 
rot or disintegrate. The smooth, glazed surface does not provide 
lodging for moss. Nor does it change the taste of or add an odor 
to the water. It is the most practical material for wells, whether 
bored or dug. It can be installed rapidly because the sections are 
long. 

A perforated joint for bottom is preferred in some cases, but 
not essential. It is furnished at a small additional cost. 

Protect Top of Well Carefully. 

The Vitrified Salt Glazed Well Tubing should extend above the 
top of the ground high enough to prevent surface water washing in 
over the top. The ground should be sloped away from the well in 
all directions and whether a pump, a windlass and bucket or a chain 
pump is to be used, a permanent, watertight platform should be con¬ 
structed around the well tubing. This will exclude dirt, filth, vermin, 
insects and spilled water. 

If a bucket and windlass is used the tubing should extend con¬ 
siderably above the ground. A wood casing and shelf for bucket 
should be built around the Glazed Clay Tubing to protect it. A metal 
cap or cover should be provided which fits over the outside of the 
socket and not inside the socket. This closes the mouth of the well 
tubing against vermin, insects and any other harmful objects. 
Methods of Installing 

In most localities it is customary to place the sockets of the 
Glazed Tubing up, closing the joints with cement or oakum. This 
is preferable because it produces a watertight tube from above 
ground down to the water. The joints which are in the water are 
not cemented. In some localities, in lining bored or drilled wells, the 
sockets are turned down. It is claimed that this makes it easier to connect the pipe 
as it is lowered and also that the bell proj ects over the joint, acting as a water table 
to exclude seepage water. When the pipe is installed with sockets down the joints 
cannot be cemented.

Glazed Well Pipe Is Cheap Health Insurance 


Disease Lurks in Many a Well 

During a careful survey, made under 
the direction of the United States Public 
Health Service, 51,544 farm homes in 
thirteen different states were visited and 

68 per cent of all these homes had polluted 
water supplies. 

Sanitary experts trace Typhoid, Dysen¬ 
tery, Hook Worm, Tuberculosis and other 
diseases, in a large degree, to an unpro¬ 
tected and polluted water supply. 

Just as water is essential to life, so is 
pure water essential to health. And the 
price of pure water is precautionary pro¬ 
tection. 



Chit No. 1621—Illustrates how polluted surface 
and seepage water finds its way into the water, 
when the well is not lined with Vitrified Salt 
Glazed Well Tubing. 



Cut No. 959—Shows a well lined with a smooth, 
elean, water tight glazed clay tubing. It excludes 
both surface and seepage water. The water tight 
platform completes a safe, sanitary well. 


Glazed Well Pipe Excludes 
Pollution 

It is readily apparent that a well 
such as that shown in illustration 
at left, must be more certain to 
provide safe, pure water than one 
lined with loosely laid rock, ce¬ 
mented rock or brick, rusting 
metal, cracking concrete or rotting 
wood. This well is protected by a 
smooth, watertight tube of ever¬ 
lasting Vitrified Salt Glazed Clay. 
The users of the well possess a 
feeling of security because they 
have the best protection obtain¬ 
able. They have definite assur¬ 
ance that the good water coming 
into the well will still be good 
when drawn for use, because out¬ 
side contamination is excluded. 


Cistern Tops—Vitrified Salt Glazed 


Vitrified Salt Glazed Cistern Tops are used 
as a curb or mouth for well or cistern. Our 
Cistern Tops are a decided improvement over the 
old method of making the opening at the top of 
the cistern. They give easy access to the cis¬ 
tern and are practically indestructible. 

They can be used to finish a brick arch by 
building the brick up around the cistern top. A 
tight platform around the cistern top excludes 
dirt and vermin from the water supply. See 
page 47 for specifications.

Dickey Glazed Hollow Tile Grain Tanks 


The factors of rapid, and at the same 
time permanent, construction are impor¬ 
tant, when plans are being- considered for 
erecting Grain Storage Tanks. Dickey 
Vitrified Salt Glazed, Curved Hollow 
Blocks meet both require¬ 
ments admirably. They lay 
up faster than any other 
practical and permanent ma¬ 
terial because of their large 
wall area. The surface area 
is 12x12 inches and the thick¬ 
ness 5 inches. The other fea¬ 
ture of permanent construc¬ 
tion is unsurpassed. Vitrified 
Clay with a Salt Glazed sur¬ 
face defies corrosion, acids, 
moisture, vermin and decay. 

It is the everlasting material. 

The Hollow Blocks have

Because of the smooth surface and free¬ 
dom from mold or moisture, tempering 
tanks built of the Dickey 
Vitrified Salt Glazed Curved 
Hollow Blocks save much 
grain from being spoiled in 
the tempering process. 
Strength is insured by the 
substantial reinforcing steel 
which is placed in the channel 
groove in each course of 
blocks. This reinforcing is 
in excess of all possible stress 
or strain from grain or wind 
pressures.

The Dickey Septic Tank 

The Dickey Septic Tank is the primary and 
principal unit of the Dickey Sewage Disposal Sys¬ 
tem. In it is begun the dissolving, purifying and 
liquifying action which is absolutely necessary 
to the sanitary disposal of sewage. This Septic 
action is accomplished completely by two armies 
of Bacteria; one in the Septic Tank, an¬ 
other in the tile disposal field. Disease germs, 
odors and insanitary conditions are eliminated 
entirely and the water supply is not contaminated. 
The Dickey Sewage Disposal System is entirely 
under ground. 

Healthful Surroundings for the Home 


waste deposits in a privy, or else the water supply 
was polluted by foul seepage from the privy 
vault. 

Your water supply in a spring or a well is 
unsafe and unhealthy when exposed to seepage 
from the germ-laden waste in open privy, cess¬ 
pool or leaching tank. 

A convenient indoor closet fixture, without a 
running water system, can be connected with the 
Dickey Septic Tank, eliminating the inconvenient 
and offensive privy. 


Modern Home Conveniences 





Health is a man’s or a family’s most valuable 
asset. Any sanitary equipment which can safe¬ 
guard the health of a family, and at the same 
time assist in promoting the family comfort, 
should be adopted immediately. 

A sanitary home and sanitary surroundings 
are made impossible by an open privy. When 
Typhoid Fever, Dysentery, Hook-Worm or Infan¬ 
tile Diarrhoea have been traced the general find¬ 
ing has been that filthy flies have carried the 
disease germs from the germ-bearing human 


With a running water supply, modern bath 
fixtures and the Dickey Septic Tank, the pleas¬ 
ures of a real bath are ready at the turn of a 
faucet. The dirty water is drained underground 
into the disposal system where any harmful germs 
are destroyed. 


Running water at 
hand, with connections 
to the Dickey Sewage 
Disposal System, re¬ 
sults in untold conveni¬ 
ence in the workshop 
of the farm or subur¬ 
ban home—the kitchen. 
Sanitation, cleanliness, 
order and convenience 
all work together to re¬ 
duce the wearisome 
drudgery and' the num¬ 
ber of steps taken in 
the course of a day.

The Dickey Septic Tank Works Thoroughly 


The Dickey Septic Tanks are made of Vitrified 
Salt Glazed Clay—the most permanent material 
known for the purpose. They cannot rust, rot, 
corrode, disintegrate or decay. They are cheaper 
in first cost and out-last all other materials. They 
are easily installed, because no forms are required 
and skilled mechanics are not necessary. The 
Dickey Septic Tank operates successfully in 
winter and summer. 

There is a Dickey System suited to each re¬ 
quirement. 

Homes, boarding houses, clubs and public insti¬ 
tutions can all be successfully equipped. 



No. 1624—Illustrating- the layout, where the 
house ami disposal field are on ground which is 
level, or nearly so. This is only one of many 
methods of laying lateral lines. It is considered 
good, because the liquid is distributed more equally 
throughout the field than where fewer and longer 
laterals are laid. 


The flow of the sewage through the Dickey 
Septic Tank is retarded to allow time for and to 
promote the Septic action. The Septic Action 
begins in the first Chamber when Millions of 
Harmless Bacteria called Anaerobes (meaning 
Bacteria which live on organic matter and thrive 
without light or air) attack the solid matter. 
They break it up consuming vegetable or ani¬ 
mal matter, deadly germs and paper. No chemi¬ 
cals are necessary, in fact, they would hinder the 
Bacteria which do the work so successfully. 

The Millions of Busy Bacteria in a Dickey Sep¬ 
tic Tank do their work just as silently and effec¬ 
tively and with just as little effort on your part 
as entirely different groups of Bacteria work in 
the process of fermenting of yeast in a batch of 
dough, or the curdling of milk in your kitchen. 
They work day and night without strikes or vaca¬ 
tions. 

Remember that the Septic Tank capacities are 
based on an average 24-hour flow of sewage into 
the tank. The flow may fluctuate above or be¬ 
low this average occasionally, but the tank should 
not be over large or too small. 


The Disposal Tile Finishes the Work 

The clear but not pure water passes out of the 
tank through the disposal tile and into the ground 
for final purification and absorption. The pro¬ 
cess of Nitrification is used after the liquid leaves 
the tank. Another army of Bacteria, called 
Aerobes, because they thrive where there is air, 
is put to work to finish the purification. The 
Sewage is thus finally purified and absorbed, and 
no harm can come to the water supply. 



Cut No. 1623—Showing method where the house 
is on higher ground than the disposal field. Where 
the disposal field must be divided on different 
levels, vertical sections of pipe will step the main 
distributing line down from, one level to another. 
The laterals can be laid on each level. 


Porous Soil Filtration 

Where the soil is porous, lay ten feet of four- 
inch Vitrified Sewer Pipe with cemented joints. 
From this point on lay the main distributing line 
of four-inch “Y” branches and four-inch Sewer 
Pipe with cemented joints. From each “Y” 
branch lay a line of four-inch Vitrified Drain Tile 
with open joints. The open joints allow the liquid 
to leak out and soak into the porous soil. 


Double Tile Filtration 

Where the ground will not absorb liquids read¬ 
ily, lay two lines of four-inch tile, the lower line 
twelve inches below the upper line. The space 
between the two lines of Tile is converted into a 
natural filter by the use of broken limestone 
(about the size of an egg), gravel and cinders. 
The flow from septic tank is into the upper line 
of Vitrified Sewer Pipe, the first ten feet of 
which is tight, and beyond that into pipe or drain 
tile which is laid with open joints. The fluid 
seeps out of the open joints of the upper pipe, 
down through the stone and cinders and into the 
lower line of the Vitrified pipe or drain tile, 
which is uncovered or open at the lower outlet 
end. Oxygen enters the lower line of tile, mixes 
with the liquid sewage, and aids the aerobes in 
their destroying action. The effluent leaves the 
lower pipe at the outlet free from odors. 


Under Drains Remove Surface Water 

In many cases the ground of tile disposal field 
receives a large amount of surface water. Under¬ 
drain lines of four-inch drain tile, laid with open 
joints below and between the lines of disposal tile, 
with an outlet lower down, will quickly remove 
this excess water. We recommend the use of this 
method. 



Cut No. 1644—Showing another method of laying 
disposal tile, also method of under-draining. Dotted 
I,ines indicate Lower Line of drain tile, which re¬ 
moves Excess Surface water.

Tank. 


The Dickey Septic Tank Sections come all ready 
to assemble and start working. No forms, molds, 
reinforcing or high priced skilled labor is neces¬ 
sary. 

Since the Dickey Septic Tank is watertight, it 
can be placed any distance from the house and 
wherever desired, if not lower than the disposal 
tile. In some cases, where the available ground 
area has been limited, the Septic Tanks have been 
placed under porches and the tile with open joints 
has been laid around the house. 

The installation is easy. The tank comes in 
three or more sections and you can easily put it 
together correctly. The line of Vitrified Salt 
Glazed Sewer Pipe leading from the house to the 
tank should have tightly cemented joints and fall 
at least 1 inch in 15 feet. A piece of 4 inch curved 
sewer pipe, with 1 inch vent hole, extending 
through the plate and down into the first cham¬ 
ber, should connect the line of sewer pipe with 
the tank. 

Assembling the Tank Sections. 

The tank itself must be set perfectly level. In 
colder regions the top of tank should be fifteen 
inches below ground. In some cases this will re¬ 
quire a fill to be made over the tank so as to avoid 
placing the disposal tile too deep. 



Cut No. 161!)—Septic Tank of Three Sections set 
up with cemented joints with inlet curve mid baffle 
plate No. 1 in place. 


The Baffle Plates must be centered carefully so 
as to get good mortar joints all around them. The 
joints between the sections of the tank should be 
carefully cemented, also. Smooth, clean joints 
should be made wherever cement is used. Cement 
should be allowed to set before filling the trench. 

Baffle Plates Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are alike and with¬ 
out the ring flange. Baffle Plate No. 4 has a 
ring flange and is to be placed in the outlet end 
of last section of the tank, with the ring to cen¬ 
ter it. Baffle Plates Nos. 1, 2 and 4 are to be 
placed with round opening above center. Baffle 
Plate No. 3 is placed with round opening below 
center. See Cut No. 1616, above. 


Fill the Septic Tank with water before covering 
it with dirt. 

If the Septic Tank has more than three sec¬ 
tions, see page 61 for method of dividing into 
compartments and placing the Baffle Plates. 

Laying the Disposal Tile. 

Beyond the tank, ten feet of cemented Sewer 
Pipe is laid, connecting with cemented “Y” 
branches, from which open jointed drain tile is 
laid in fan shape. Cover open joints with small 
section of tarred paper to exclude loose dirt. 

Tile laterals should be at least six feet apart 
and from 10 to 18 inches in the ground, but not 
too deep to be below the air circulation in the soil. 
Tile laterals should fall from 2 to 4 inches per 
100 feet in tight clay and up to 8 inches per 100 
feet in very loose, sandy soil. 

Some of the many methods used in laying the 
tile disposal field are illustrated on pages 59 and 
61. It is well to make sure that there is good depth 
of soil for filtration below the tile lines. A rock 
stratum immediately below the tile will reduce 
the efficiency of the purifying and absorbing ac¬ 
tion. We are always pleased to assist in solving 
any local problem. 

Experience in a cold climate, in many states, 
indicates that it is unnecessary to go below the 
deepest frost line. Where the system is in con¬ 
stant use, the warm water coming from kitchen 
and bath prevents freezing of liquid in tank or 
disposal tile. If the disposal tile is laid with an 
outlet it may be necessary to take precautionary 
care against freezing at the outlet opening. Loose 
straw will keep out cold air and permit the liquid 
to escape. 

In warmer regions, where freezing need not be 
considered, the location of the tank, as to depth, 
will be governed by the lay of the tile disposal 
field, as explained on page 59. 

Manhole Cover Lids 

Cover lids are pro¬ 
vided to allow access 
to the Tank, when¬ 
ever it is so desired. 

There have been 
cases where users 
carelessly allowed 
articles to go 
through the pipes 
and into the Tank, 
which obstructed the 
proper working of 
the Tank. Covers 
make it possible to remove such obstructions or 
any sludge that may accumulate over a long 
period.

Dickey Septic Tank in Connection With Indoor Closet 



Cut No. 1.N33—«A Five Section Dickey Septic Tank being 
installed and connected with two suburban residences. Drain 
Tile with open joints is seen at bottom of picture. Another line 
runs off to the left. These people have adapted the method of 
laying- out Disposal Field to the condition of the ground. 


A Sanitary Indoor Closet Is Now 
Available 

Inexpensive indoor convenience, 
sanitation and safety are provided by 
the Dickey Septic Tank, where condi¬ 
tions prevent the use of a running 
water system. It is operated without 
running water and only requires 
enough water to flush the closet bowl 
each time it is used. 

A regular closet fixture with low 
tank is placed indoors and connected 
to the septic tank through iron soil 
pipe and sewer pipe in the same man¬ 
ner as when complete plumbing sys¬ 
tem is installed. The soil pipe ex¬ 
tends up through the roof, making a 
vent which removes odors and sewer 
gases. 

The disagreeable inconvenience of 
the outdoor privy is avoided. Odors 
are eliminated, soil pollution is pre¬ 
vented, and sanitation accomplished 
without the expense of a water sup¬ 
ply system or extensive plumbing. 

The unpleasant job of cleaning the 
privy vault or a chemical closet and 
disposing of refuse is done away 
with. The waste matter is disposed 
of by the same process of liquifica- 
tion in the septic tank and nitrifica¬ 
tion and purification in the disposal 
tile as occurs when the septic tank is 
connected with a running water sup- 

piy- 

Plan for Running Water Later 

The indoor closet may be installed 
in such a manner as to make it easy 
to connect a running water system 
at some later time. The closet fix¬ 
ture and the septic tank will then 
become a part of the complete system 
and continue to render efficient serv¬ 
ice under the new conditions. 

This feature of immediate, inex¬ 
pensive indoor convenience and the ad¬ 
ditional possibility of economical con¬ 
nection with a complete plumbing 
system makes the indoor closet con¬ 
nected with the Dickey Septic Tank 
a very attractive and practical ar¬ 
rangement.

The above schedule of material does not include Sewer Pipe and Fittings, Material for Siphon 
Chamber, Underdrain Tile, Grease Trap, Cement Mortar or Concrete. 

Sewer Pipe and Fittings. In every case the method of laying out the tile disposal field, its dis¬ 
tance from the Septic Tank and the distance of Tank from the house will determine the number ol 
feet of four-inch Vitrified Salt Glazed Sewer Pipe and Fittings required. Four-inch Sewer Pipe is 
two feet long and has bell socket on one end. 

Material for Siphon Chamber. See cut No. 1920 on page 63. The additional material ordinarily 
required where a 3 inch Automatic Siphon is used, consists of one piece of 4 inch sewer pipe; one 4 
inch curve; one piece 4 inch sewer pipe without socket; one piece 24 inch by 4 inch double Tee, 2% ft. 
long; one piece 24 inch sewer pipe, 2 ft. long, to extend up to the ground line, making manhole; one 24 
inch Clay stopper or lid, and a small amount of concrete to set Siphon in. Capacities of Siphons used 
with plumbing equipment listed in schedule No. 1 are as follows: 3 inch, 5 to 15 persons; 4 inch, 15 
to 40 persons; 5 inch, 40 to 100 persons. We will furnish special information when a system is wanted 
requiring a Siphon larger than 3 inch. 

Underdrain Tile. The amount of Vitrified Drain Tile necessary to relieve the disposal field of 
water settling from the surface, as mentioned on page 59, should be the same as is shown for each 
system in the above schedules, with a few Drain Tile Fittings for connections. Four-inch Drain Tile 
is one foot long and is made with plain ends. 

Grease Trap. Grease is not easily liquified by Bacteria and tends to clog the disposal field if 
carried through the Septic Tank into the disposal tile. A grease trap should collect the grease be¬ 
fore the liquid reaches the Septic Tank, see page 63. Chemicals should not be used to clean the plumb¬ 
ing pipes as they kill the Bacteria in the Septic Tank. Use Boiling water for cleaning. In estimat¬ 
ing material for installing the Dickey Grease Trap, described on Page 63, include sufficient four-inch 
sewer pipe to reach from house to connecting point beyond the Septic Tank, adding one four-inch 14 
curve and one four-inch “Y” Branch. 

Cement Mortar and Concrete. Do not use lime in the cement mortar or concrete. Mortar should 
consist of one part Portland Cement to two parts clean sand. Concrete for Siphon Chamber should 
consist of one part Portland Cement, two parts of clean sand, and four parts of gravel or clean 
broken stone. 

Unusual Conditions. Special conditions can be met successfully, and we will be pleased to assist 
in planning to meet the needs of any particular problem.

Dickey Grease Traps Give Practical Service 


The purpose of a 
grease trap is to 
separate the grease 
and soap from the 
waste water coming 
from the kitchen 
sink, bath tub, laun¬ 
dry tubs or dairy 
house. The grease 
does not liquify 
readily in the Septic 
Tank and tends to 
clog the soil in the 
disposal field. The 
Dickey Grease Trap 
separates the grease 
by allowing it to rise and float on the surface of 
the water. The accumulated grease and sediment 
can be easily removed periodically. We recom¬ 
mend the use of a grease trap with the Dickey 
Septic Tank. 



Cut No. 1829—Section of 
Dickey Grease Trap. 


The Dickey Grease Trap, including the lid, is 
made throughout of Vitrified Salt Glazed Clay, 
and will not rust, decay, corrode or disintegrate. 
See cut No. 1826. You will never need to re¬ 
place it. 


The Dickey Grease Trap should be located 
where easily accessible for cleaning. Figure to 
place it so that the outlet from Grease Trap is 
enough higher than the outlet of the Septic Tank 
to allow for sufficient fall in the 4 inch sewer 
pipe which connects the Grease Trap with the 
sewer pipe beyond the outlet of the Septic Tank. 
See cut No. 1827. 

The liquid from the grease Trap is conducted 
through 4 inch sewer pipe with cemented joints, 
around the Septic Tank, and emptied beyond the 
Septic Tank into the sewer pipe line leading to 
Tile Disposal Field. It then 
flows into the disposal field 
with the liquid effluent from 
the Septic Tank and is ab¬ 
sorbed and purified, as ex¬ 
plained on page 59. 


1887 

Cut No. 1827—Showing- method of installing 
Dickey Grease Trap in connection with Dickey 
Septic Tank. 




C A IITTON ^ Never throw rags, newspapers, wrapping paper, hair combings, cigar stubs, 
_ ‘ v _ 1 * * matches or any indissoluble article into any plumbing fixture or pipe. A good 

quality of toilet paper will assist in avoiding the clogging of plumbing system. 
Care in this regard will be repaid by the uninterrupted service of both the plumbing system and the 
Septic Tank Sewage Disposal System. Carelessness will result in trouble sooner or later. Do not 
use lye, acids or patented chemicals to clean plumbing fixtures connected with Septic Tank. Such 
acids or chemicals do not affect our tank but do interfere with the septic action in the tank. 


An Automatic Siphon Insures Good Service 


ntMTAN* N 



Cut No. 1920—Section of Siphon Chamber 


In extremely tight soil, or in a large system, an Auto¬ 
matic Siphon is used in an additional chamber. The Siphon 
discharges the entire contents of the Siphon Chamber into the 
distributing system when the liquid in the 
Siphon Chamber reaches a certain height. This 
intermittent discharge allows time for the puri¬ 
fying action in the drain tile system to occur 
between discharges, and prevents the soil from 
becoming clogged and foul. Care is necessary 
in setting the Siphon, as it must be level to 
insure proper action. See list of mate¬ 
rials necessary to install Siphon cham¬ 
ber on page 62. 

Our regular Dickey Septic Tank Sys¬ 
tem for residences will give excellent 
service in ordinary soils, without a 
Siphon, but we recommend the Siphon 
for general use, as an added mechanical 
means of increasing the value and effi¬ 
ciency of the system.

Vitrified Farm Drain Tile 



Vitrified Drain Tile with Open Joints. 


Vitrified Hard Burned Drain Tile is another everlasting Clay Product. Its dense, 
hard body will not corrode, crumble, scale, disintegrate, rust or decay. When placed 
in the ground it is there to remain in service for generations to come. This claim 
for service is supported by the condition today of Hard Burned Clay tile in¬ 
stalled over half a century ago. 

No line of drain tile is better than its weakest section. If one tile collapses 
the whole line eventually becomes clogged and useless. Our hard burned tile stands 
up and carries on consistently and permanently. 

It was once generally believed that Drain Tile should be porous in order to ab¬ 
sorb the water through the shell of the tile. Now our most practical and successful 
farmers and engineers all declare that the drained water enters the tile at the 
joints. It is a positive and serious defect of porous tiles that they absorb water 
and hold it like a sponge, and the tiles are sure to scale or crumble more or less and 
finally give way altogether. This is especially true if tile is frozen while saturated 
with water. Hence the hard-burned, non-porous tiles are best in every respect. 

Remember it costs no more to dig ditches for and to lay Vitrified Hard Burned 
Tile, than to install the inferior kind which will disintegrate and cause trouble later. 

Drain Tile Makes the Crops More Certain 

Drainage of wet land or land which dees not produce satisfactorily will, where 
the elements of fertility are in the soil, yield surprisingly increased crops, advance 
the land values and rid the farm of unhealthy and unsightly bogs and marshy 
spots. This is not a theory, but has been demonstrated in all sections of the coun¬ 
try, as shown by hundreds of letters we have received from users of our Vitrified 
Drain Tile. 

Drain Tile makes wet land tillable, prepares the soil for cultivation earlier in the 
spring, and makes it warmer by several degrees; makes possible deeper rootings and 
larger access to necessary plant foods; helps prevent soil baking and clod formation; 
tends to eliminate chance by insuring crop 3 in a favorable, wet or dry season; pre¬ 
vents soil wash and the loss of the soluble and most fertile elements of your land; 
increases crops twenty to fifty per cent or more in quantity and improves the quality.

A Plan Based On Survey 

Careful planning of the drain¬ 
age system, based on a good 
survey, should precede the in¬ 
stallation. 

This will insure the specifica¬ 
tion of the correct sizes of tile, 
properly spaced to do the work. 

If the entire tract cannot be 
tiled at one time, plan the par¬ 
tial system so that the rest 
may be tiled and connected 
later.

Vitrified Drain Tile Has Many Uses. 


Farm drainage has repaid farmers annual divi¬ 
dends so liberally and so consistently that some 
think of Drain Tile only in connection with crop 
improvement. 

There are, however, so many other purposes 
to which it is equally well adapted, that we 
are listing some of them here. 


Sanitation Through Drainage 

It is well known how much distress and inef¬ 
ficiency result from malarial fever. Mosquitoes 
carry the malarial parasites and inject them 
into human blood. Wet, swampy land cultivates 
mosquitoes. Drainage of such land safeguards 
the community. Frequently sanitation and crop 
results go hand in hand. 



Here is convincing demonstration. Picture at 
left shows wet uncultivated land. At right the 
same land is shown in cultivation and highly pro¬ 
ductive. 


Other Uses For Drain Tile 


Vitrified Drain Tile is also used for culverts; 
sub-surface drainage for streets, highways, rail¬ 
road roadbeds; covering plants to protect against 
frost; well linings; irrigation lines; draining 
foundations, conduits, etc. 


Drainage Under Street Railways 

It is very important after the heavy expense 
of laying a permanent concrete base for a street 
railway track, that the sub grade should be 
thoroughly drained. Otherwise the investment will 
have been wasted and the roadbed will eventually 
deteriorate from settling. 



Cut No. 18SO—Vitrified Drain Tile used for sub- 
drainage under street railway in Kansas City, Mo. 
The line of Drain Tile empties into a corner catch 
basin. 


Drainage Under Conduits 



Cut No. 1343—Shows how Vitrified Drain Tile is 
used to remove seepage water from around and 
under conduit lines. 


Drainage Around Foundation Walls 


Many basements are wet or 
damp, even though the walls are 
good. In wet weather surface 
water seeps down along the wall 
and either causes dampness or may 
find access to the basement. Vitri¬ 
fied Drain Tile, laid with open 
joints around base of wall, removes 
the water. Connection may be 
made to sewer or drain. See Cut 
No. 1642 at right.

Telegraphic Code. 

Instructions for Coding and Sending 

Products listed are grouped and classified in this catalog as Fire Clay and Vitri¬ 
fied Clay. Fire Clay products are first in the catalog. Products in each class are, 
as nearly as possible, listed alphabetically, with the name of the product govern¬ 
ing and not the modifying adjective. For instance Fire Brick is listed alphabetically 
as Brick, Fire and is first in the Fire Clay Products. Sewer Pipe and Fittings are list¬ 
ed in order under Pipe, Sewer. The code word initial for Brick, Fire is B; for Pipe, 
Sewer is P, etc. The code phrases listed on pages 67 to 70 begin with U, V, W or Y. 

SPECIAL NOTICE. 

Please bear in mind the following in using the telegraph code: 

1. Telegraph only when the matter is urgent. When a letter will answer the 
purpose, it is surer, as errors in transmission cannot then occur. 

2 . Where a blank occurs in a code sentence, the word or words supplying the 
blank must always follow the code word of the sentence. 

For instance under “shipments already made,” if the word “veal” is used, the 
words to complete the vacant blanks must follow “veal” in the order in which they 
should occur in the completed sentence. 

3. Except in Cablegram, ten words are as cheap as any number less. Avoid 
code where the matter can be covered in ten words without it. 

4. When ordering be sure you have correct size, length, quality, size of branch, 
thickness, etc. Take pains to be correct and specific. Otherwise no time will be 
saved, because it will be necessary to wire back for an explanation of your telegram. 

5. Write plainly and begin each code word with a capital letter. 


Instructions for de-Coding and Reading 

The Code word initials for the products are included in the listing of the page 
index at the back of this book, page 71. These initials will assist in de-coding. 

The Code sentences which follow below have Code word initials U. V. W. Y. 

For instance if a telegram contained the Code Words “Bonus,” “Cabal,” “Labor,” 
“Pace,” “Poach,” “Paper,” “Tub,” you would trace these by the code word initials 
“B,” “C,” “L,” “P,” “T” in the page index and locate the item and the page in cata¬ 
log with very little trouble. If “Udder” or another word beginning with either U, 
V, W or Y were included, you would look in the Code phrases, pages 67 to 70.

Method of Loading Various Sizes of Culvert Pipe 



Wagon Bed 4 ft. 10 in. l»y 14 ft., 42 pieces—10." 
feet—12-inch Vitrified Culvert Pipe. Weight 4,620 
lbs. 

Using the method of loading shown above, pipe 
loaded two pieces wide and two pieces high, totals 
as follows: 


15-in.—30 pieces—75 feet.4,500 lbs. 

18-in.—22 pieces—55 feet.4,675 lbs. 

21-in.—18 pieces—45 feet.4,950 lbs. 


You will note the two different methods of plac¬ 
ing 24-inch pipe on wagon. In one picture 10 
pieces were loaded on the wagon and in the other 
picture shown at the right 12 pieces were loaded 
on the same wagon. This resulted in a difference 
of 700 pounds in the weight of the two loads. 


APPROXIMATE NUMBER OE FEET AND PIECES 
TO LOAD OF 3,750 POUNDS.

Cost of Team Haulage—Hauling Culvert and Sewer Pipe 


The costs are estimated and based on an approximate 
load of 3,750 pounds, as shown above. The wagon bed used 
was 4 ft. 10 in. by 14 ft. long. 

A price schedule for hauling, shown in the accompany¬ 
ing table, gives in the first column the cost of hauling for 
various distances at $7.50 per team per 10-hour day; also 
cost per foot of hauling Vitrified Clay Culvert Pipe. It Is 
based on an average load of 3,750 pounds with team walk¬ 
ing at two miles per hour w r ith load and three miles per 
hour returning. An allowance of 40 minutes is made for 
loading and unloading. The schedule shows hauling dis¬ 
tances only one way —out to the work. The cost prices in¬ 
clude the hauling time out to the worjk. the loading and un¬ 
loading- time and the time returning. 

Calculations at any price, other than $7.50 per day per 
team, can readily be based on this schedule.

Useful Information 

One-sixth of tensile strength of plate multiplied by 
thickness of plate and divided by one-half the diameter 
of boiler gives safe working pressure for tubular boil¬ 
ers. For marine boilers add 20 per cent for drilled 
holes. 

A cubic foot of water contains 7% gallons, 1,728 
cubic inches and weighs 62% pounds. 

To find the pressure in pounds per square inch of a 
column of water multiply the height of the column in 
feet by .434. 

Steam rising from water at its boiling point (212 
degrees) has a pressure equal to the atmosphere (14.7 
pounds to the square inch). 

A standard horsepower: The evaporation of 30 
pounds of water per hour from a feed water tempera¬ 
ture of 100 degrees F. into steam at 70 pounds gauge 
pressure. 

To find capacity of tanks, any size: Given dimen¬ 
sions of a cylinder in inches to find its capacity in 
U. S. gallons: Square the diameter, multiply by the 
length and by .0034. 

To ascertain heating surface in tubular boilers mul¬ 
tiply two-thirds of the circumference of boiler by 
length of boiler in inches and add to it the area of all 
the tubes.

Number of Feet of Tile to 
Drain One Acre 

Farmers and gardeners often 
find it necessary to lay off small 
portions of land for the purpose 
of experimenting with different 
crops, drain tile, etc. 

To such, the following rules 
will be helpful: 

One acre contains 160 square 
rods, or 4,840 square yards, or 
43,560 square feet. 

Feet required per acre accord¬ 
ing to spacing: 


SO feet apart.545 feet 

90 feet apart.484 feet 

100 feet apart.436 feet 

120 feet apart.363 feet 

135 feet apart.324 feet 

150 feet apart.290 feet 


Vitrified Hard Burned Clay 
Drain Tile is everlasting — will 
not disintegrate or decay.

To find diameter of a 
circle multiply circum¬ 
ference by .31831. 

To find area of a cir¬ 
cle multiply square of 
diameter by .7854. 

To find area of a tri¬ 
angle multiply base by 
V 2 perpendicular height. 

To find surface of a 
ball multiply square of 
diameter by 3.1416. 


When the area to be drained and the fall of the sewer per hundred feet 
are known, the size of the pipe required can be easily ascertained by referring 
to the above table, which shows the number of gallons discharged per minute 
by specified sizes and grades. In main sewers this flow is, of course, greatly 
increased by the added pressure of connecting laterals. 

Statistics show the maximum rainfall to be about one inch per hour, 
except during very heavy and uncommon storms. 

One inch rainfall per hour gives 22,633 gallons per hour for each acre, or 
377 gallons per minute per acre. 


To find side of an 
equal square multiply 
diameter by .8862. 

To find cubic inches 
in a ball multiply cube 
of diameter by .5236. 

Doubling the diam¬ 
eter of a pipe increases 
its capacity four times. 


Experience shows that owing to various obstructions, not over 50 or 75 
per cent of the rain falling will reach the drain within the same hour. Due 
allowance should be made for this fact in determining the size of pipe required, 
as severe storms are generally of short duration. 


A gallon of water (U. 
S. Standard) weighs 8 
lb. 5 1-3 oz. and con¬ 
tains 231 cubic inches.
